Live Music at University Plaza!


HEADLINER: The Amish Outlaws are BACK this year! They are very well acclimated to the pleasures and vices of the modern world... music, most of all. Hip hop, rock, country, metal, disco, opera. There is no genre they do not touch upon. They play the songs all the other bands are embarrassed to play! Don't miss out on a fun night out!


OPENER: The Howlers! Todd Haines of Williamsport MD on acoustic guitar/vocals and Lew Palladino of Hagerstown MD on lead guitar/vocals. Lew is best known for decades of live performances with The Rhythm Kings. Their style is stripped down to the elemental basics of guitars and mics and draws on a lifetime of musical influences from classic rock to country to blues and everything in between. A typical performance will feature songs both well-known and more obscure, from a range of artists and genres from The Beatles to Zac Brown, with the goal of an ever-expanding set list and musical experience.


Bring your own chair, food, and drinks.


Please note: Event-goers are permitted to bring their own alcohol in non-breakable containers into University Plaza during the event. Open containers of alcohol are not to be taken outside of the Plaza.


Imagine Hagerstown is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org) and the Washington County Arts Council (https://www.washingtoncountyarts.com/) and is based in Hagerstown’s Arts & Entertainment District.

Buddy speaks an international language and continues to have audiences from 8 to 80 rockin’ in the aisles across the globe. Loved by critics and audiences alike, Buddy tells the enduring tale of the musical icon’s meteoric rise to fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22. In 18 short months, the Texas-born boy revolutionized the face of contemporary music influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen.
